“Sing It Again, Sam!” The inimitable song stylings of Sam Sacks Arliss Records For those unfamiliar with the wonder of WFMU’s Beware of the Blog let this be a welcome introduction. Go to BOTB and listen to Sam’s fantastically awful mauling of standards. A private recording on par with the best of the worst from Mrs. Miller, Lucia Pamela and Florence Foster Jenkins. I gotta find a copy!

“Today’s Top Hits” by the HOMESTEAD (?) on Homestead Records (of course) 1979 Featuring bad recreations of chart toppers of the day, like Randy Newman’s “Short People,” one of the greatest politically incorrect songs of all time.

“Music To Dream By” Valentino and His Orchestra GMS Records An exceptional example of a 1950’s cheesecake cover on a record of quite unexceptional music. Looks quite common but it’s really very rare.

Etta James “At Last!” Argo Lp 4003 (1961) Designed by Don Bronstein. What an album. What a song. What a performer. What a cover. For every Hall of Fame.

Here’s my copy of Esquerita! (1959) Capitol Records Esquerita was an obvious influence on Little Richard. Like Richard, a flaming, shrieking, piano-pounding rock and roll originator. Amazing that he was on Capitol records with label mates like Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole and Peggy Lee. I put this one in a nice wood frame I found in a Berkeley record shop.
Tracks include: Hey Miss Lucy / She Left Me Crying / Hole In My Heart / Believe Me When I Say Rock ‘n’ Roll / I Need You / Why Did It Take You So Long / Get Back Baby / I’m Batty over Hattie / Gettin’ Plenty of Lovin’

Here’s a rare one for sure. This is Jayne Mansfield in fine form on the cover of a British compilation called “5 Star Party” featuring cuts by Cliff Richard and the Shadows, Eddie Calvert, Russ Corway, The Dave Clark Five and Victor Silvester. Columbia EMI Records.
